My Dog King

About the Book

This is the story of King and the bond that exists between man and his dog. A bond which, when forged at an early age and tempered over time, cannot easily be broken.

King was part collie and part bulldog which made for a wonderful breed. Not only was he a fast learner, he was also very good around children.

The collie breed of dog goes back to Great Britain. It was originally bred to be a shepherding dog of Scotland, which is how it got its name. Historically, it is believed that collies were first brought to Scotland by the Romans.

King certainly was no herder but sure loved to hunt and was particularly easy to work with. He loved his freedom but also wanted to please. He was, in fact, a very good dog.
